[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like OP is at a private school.  I would say yes it's promising.

Colleges have to yield protect.  When they pull kids from the deferral to admit, they will call the private high school counselors first, and they will get a clear idea whether the deferee will attend if admitted.

I know cases this has been done before RD results come out.  Good luck.[/quote]

We are at a feeder private, this is a rare result.  More commonly a deferral for a legacy is a soft rejection.[/quote]

More common at our feeder.

It may be a soft no for a legacy, particularly a Cornell legacy.  However, how is this relevant to OP?  She is not a legacy.

OP is the top kid among the deferrals at her school, and it sounds like their school counselor is all in advocating for her.  I wouldn't be surprised if this is a case for RD admit as long as this college remains OP's top choice.[/quote]

There is a sibling legacy here, did you miss that?[/quote]

OP here. Yes sibling legacy, although the school doesn't technically consider sibling attending as legacy status. Only parents.
